There is also the Fox News methodology:
We Report.  You Decide.
Presently, The Citizendium " will be launching".
http://www.citizendium.org/
In the meantime, I am placing key word
Wikipedia articles on all related sites at
The Genealogy and Family History Internet Web Directory
http://www.academic-genealogy.com/

When the "gentle expert guidance" comes on board,
it will be "reported" side by side with the Wikipedia
key word articles, combined together with personal
scholarly educational access resources obtained from
years of Internet searching.  Genealogy and Family History
researchers will then be able to compare and report errors
in contributions, EITHER from Wikipedia or Citizendium.

Perhaps a better description:  We Compile.  You Decide.
This way, "scholars can rub elbows with the general public";
i.e., the I'm OK, and you are also OK assessment process.

Respectfully yours,
